All pens are restored unless specifically noted in the description. Postage & Insurance are additional . All pens are shipped insured. For shipments in the US we prefer USPS Priority Mail, and outside the US we prefer Express Mail International. We will of course use other shippers at customer request. Generally, our pens are warranted for one year. Unfortunately, we sometimes cannot restore some modern pens (post- 1970) due to lack of parts or inaccessibility to the mechanisms (many modern pen companies manufacturer their pens with the plan that no restoration will ever be done). If we can’t restore the pen, you may still have some recourse through the manufacturer or distributor. We can provide contact information for you on request. Thank you for your understanding. NIBS: When reading item descriptions, please assume each nib is original for its pen, and is 14K gold, unless otherwise noted. ****************************************************************************************** Check out our Website - www.gopens.com See our website for: ~Catalog photos in color, plus a downloadable color copy you can print at home. ~Information about our book “Waterman Past & Present - The First Six Decades” ~Protective Shipping & Storage tubes. ~White Slotted Storage boxes. ~Glass Covered Storage/Display Boxes. ~Slotted Trays for chests, boxes and drawers. ~Subscription information. ~Historical Catalogs for reference. ~Information on our Warrantees. ~Our Privacy Policy. ~Secure Credit Card Submission. ~Customer Feedback. ~And more...

  • Montegrappa… First 360º Design Portal Offers Exotic Materials, Hi- Fidelity Rendering and Complete Design Control
    History and Future e live in a world that places a high value on time. Instruments made to count time have come to command astronomical prices. Yet in the manic, noisy crossfire of modern life, objects designed to make time count for more are rare. For more than a century, a family company nested in the Italian Dolomites has remained relentlessly curious about perfecting the deeply personal – often magical – relationship between paper and the human mind. Since beginning our quest for perfection in 1912, we have watched words - and the countless hours we devote to them – become devalued by abundance. ‘Progress’ has often come at the price of values, meaning and truth. Far from representing a suspension of progress, Montegrappa pens exist so that connoisseurs of thought and devotees of words may savour the luxury of slowing time down. “All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.” Ernest Hemingway Write the truest sentence that you knowWrite the Many of our friends and rivals delight in celebrating pens as relics of days gone by. With the greatest of respect, we beg to differ. Whereas others portray themselves as keepers of tradition, Montegrappa remains steadfastly committed to the tradition of innovation. Our manufactory is situated in the exact location where Italian fountain pen production began more than a century ago. Within these walls, antique artisanal high jewellery craft stands shoulder-to-shoulder with high- precision, computer-controlled technologies. But technical excellence is the very least our community of Montegrappisti deserves. Above all, the imaginations of fantasists, visionaries, and our most exuberant users are what spur us on to ever more audacious and uncommon creations.

  • Read a Message from the Specialist About the Sale Here
    A MESSAGE FROM THE SPECIALIST Welcome to PBA's latest Fine Pens sale, featuring over 400 lots of modern and vintage writing instruments. The offerings in today's sale come from some of the most illustrious collections in Europe, Asia and the United States, and represent some of the most outstanding pens currently available on the market. Leading the sale is a selection of almost 100 modern Montblanc pens, most of which come from one of the leading collections of Europe. The selection includes numerous Writers Series, Patron of Art Series, and Artisan Edition masterworks. Foremost among these is a rare and coveted Gustave Eiffel fountain pen with a skeletonized 18K white gold lattice studded with an elaborate network of rivets recalling the Eiffel Tower and a transparent captop dome with a floating mother-of-pearl Montblanc star. These pens quickly vanished into private collections almost immediately upon their release in 2011, and this is the first example that I've had the privilege of offering in my decade as a penman-at- auction. The pen is immaculate, still sealed in its original plastic sheathe, untouched by human hands. Also offered is a pristine John Lennon 18K white gold skeleton pen (lot 82), an exceptional Beijing Opera Masks pen in 18K gold and Chinese lacquer (lot 84), and Artisan pens themed after Herbert von Karajan, Joan Miro, Otto von Bismarck, Salvador Dali, Antoni Gaudi and others. Vintage pens comprise an increasingly dynamic sector of the auction marketplace, and we're very pleased to offer a selection of interesting and historically significant vintage instruments.
